Specifically, I request: 1. A list of all research projects commissioned or conducted in-house by the NACDA, including: o the project/research title, o the cost of the research, o the commission date, and o the publication date (where applicable). 2. Any correspondence, minutes, or records relating to delayed or blocked publication of NACDA- commissioned research, including but not limited to: o objections to publication, o issues raised regarding research integrity, o policy reasons given for withholding publication, and o any decisions not to proceed with publication.
